About this listen

Coach Florian Kuehne joins Steve Smith and Dave Anderson to share his tennis journey. From starting at seven and competing in Tennis Europe and German club leagues, to earning his German C and B licenses by 19 (then the youngest German coach to hold a B license). In episode 287, Florian breaks down what shaped his coaching lens in Europe and why those developmental environments create adaptable, fundamentally sound players.

Now based in the U.S., Florian discusses building players in a different system while personally coaching nationally recognized juniors, including a top-50 U15 boy and a rising 6th-grade girl ranked No. 2 in the nation. He also connects tennis to leadership and resilience from his executive role in global manufacturing and why Brookhaven mornings keep his competitive edge sharp and his coaching energy high.
